Planned Parenthood, the billion dollar corporate abortion mill, has taken indecency to a whole new level and is using your taxpayer dollars to spread its harmful propaganda.
A new Planned Parenthood promotional Web site (www.takecaredownthere.org), which targets youth and is called "Take Care Down There," features short "public service" video vignettes which, among other things, promote casual sex, immodesty, homosexuality and even group sex. For example, one video on this new Web site depicts what appears to be an African-American male teenager relegated to performing oral sex on a white male teenager while another white male (an adult authority figure in a suit) stands nearby giving instructions. It is too shameful for a press release to print what one of the teenagers says on the Planned Parenthood video.
Liberty Counsel is renewing its call for the defunding of Planned Parenthood because of this shocking Web site. Last year, Mat Staver signed a pro-family coalition letter calling for the defunding of Planned Parenthood, after revelations of the abortion group’s alleged systematic violation of Kansas state law came to light. Senator Vitter (R-LA) and Representative Pence (R-IN) have both introduced legislation that would prevent abortion providers from receiving money from the federal government.
During the 2006-2007 fiscal year, Planned Parenthood received a total of $336.7 million from government grants and contracts. In 2008, $300 million was given to family planning clinics, under the Title X program. These funds were used to service over five million people, a third of which received "care" from a Planned Parenthood clinic. This new Planned Parenthood Web site has again raised the necessity to put an end to the federal government’s funding of Planned Parenthood.
Hardworking Americans should not pay to support Planned Parenthood's profiteering sex agenda that encourages teenage sex on the one hand and then profits by aborting the consequences of such promiscuity on the other hand? Planned Parenthood's Web site is offensive and, frankly, shocks the conscience. It is insane that we allow our tax dollars to fund such an irresponsible and destructive organization. We must stop funding Planned Parenthood and we must stop now!
Here is how you can help in this effort to defund Planned Parenthood:
Contact your Senators and Representative and ask them to support legislation that will stop the funding for Planned Parenthood. Tell them that your tax dollars should not pay for a group that would promote casual sex among this Nation's youth with a Web site like www.takecaredownthere.org.
